DesignInnovation
Three decades of MX goggle evolution have led to
this turning point, a landmark of technology so
revolutionary that it will render ordinary goggles
obsolete. Forget any notion of what defines high
performance. Not since the early days of the sport
has a single design brought so much innovation.
Essential gear for anyone who rides for glory, rides
for sport or just rides for fun, the Oakley Airbrakeâ&#x201E;˘
MX goggle is the new benchmark for protection,
clarity, comfort and convenience.

IMPACTPROTECTION
Modern dirt bikes generate massive amounts of torque and horsepower, which can turn dirt and rocks into a spray of ballistic
missiles. Riders are getting more daring, and today’s breed of guts and grit can lead to serious carnage. When it comes to impact
resistance, the current crop of thin, stamped goggle lenses are simply not up to the task, so we created a game-changer in the
arena of protection technology. This is the first ever MX goggle with a lens made of injection-molded Plutonite,® which is formed
under extreme pressure to create a precisely engineered arc of protection for your eyes. Plutonite ® is the most optically pure lens
material ever utilized for MX goggles. With a confidence-inpsiring force field for clarity of mind, Airbrake’s Plutonite® lens gives
you a laser-lock focus on victory.

OPTICALCLARITY
The next time you’re charging through a
rutted-out rhythm section or picking your line
through a berm, consider this: ordinary MX
lenses are die-cut from flat sheets of generic
material then bent to fit conventional goggle.
This crude process can result in optical
distortion. That means things aren’t really
where you see them. Not so with Airbrake™ MX
because the lenses are injection molded under
extreme pressure to create a precise contour
of optically correct geometry. It’s a level of
visual accuracy you need if you’re serious
about performance and safety.

MAXIMUMPERIPHERAL

AIRBRAKE™MX

To become an MX champion, it takes a unique point of view – one that maximizes peripheral vision so you can
spot challengers and out maneuver them until they’re cussing into their face masks. That’s what you get with
Airbrake™ MX. Precision lens curvature is matched with sleek frame architecture, expanding your field of vision
so you can conquer every obstacle on the track.

Switchlock Technology
™

“Adapt and survive” is a motto for guys who
are pummeled by tire roost. It’s not good
enough. Airbrake ™ MX is for those who
adapt and conquer because it lets them
switch up their vision with the convenience
of Oakley Switchlock ™ Technology. Our
unique design makes the process of lens
changing fast and hassle-free, so you can
quickly swap lens tints to optimize visibility
and comfort according to the light
conditions. We’ve created a full array of
optional lenses so you can arm yourself with
innovation in any situation, from riding sand
dunes in blinding sunshine to racing through
shadows under stadium lights, and
everything in between.

IntegratedRoll-Off
A i r b r a k e ™ MX i s a v a i l a b l e w i t h a
revolutionary roll-off system that utilizes an
integrated cartridge canister inside the
outrigger strap attachment for the ultimate
in convenience and visibility. A clean surface
moves into position with the tug of a cable,
and compared to the skinny film of ordinary
roll-offs that are like peeking through a tiny
window, the vertical field of vision is
significantly increased to provide a wideopen view of the track in front of you.

ENHANCEDCOMFORT

AIRBRAKE™MX

Staying in the zone means eliminating every
possible distraction. That’s why Airbrake™ MX
offers a level of comfort achieved through
decades of Oakley innovation. This goggle is
the culmination of every breakthrough we’ve
made, and when you experience the way it
fits and feels, you’ll never compromise
victory with a conventional goggle again.
Airbrake™ MX is composed of ultra-strong,
yet lightweight O Matter® combined with
flexible urethane. The rigid outer frame
holds the lens securely without the bending
that can cause visual distortion, and a soft
and pliable inner faceplate conforms to your
face like it was made just for you.

ADAPTABILITYSERVICeABILITY
When you wear out tires or want to replace
the handlebars on your dirt bike, do you
throw the whole machine away and go buy
a new one? Of course not. So why should
you have to do that with your goggles?
Airbrake ™ MX is equipped with a fully
adaptable and serviceable chassis, allowing
you to easily swap outriggers between tearoff and roll-off configurations, replace worn
out foam faceplates, or switch the strap to
match your style. Each component has been
carefully engineered to work together in
perfect harmony while allowing for
serviceability over the long haul.
